Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?
Treatment duration varies depending on individual needs, complexity, and chosen appliances. On average, most treatments take between 12 to 24 months. Your orthodontist will provide a personalised estimate during your consultation.
Are orthodontic treatments painful?
While some discomfort or soreness is common—especially after adjustments—most patients find it manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. Discomfort typically lessens after the first few days.
Will I need to wear retainers after treatment?
Yes. Retainers are essential for maintaining your new smile and preventing teeth from shifting back. Your orthodontist will advise on the type and duration of retainer wear based on your case.
Can adults get orthodontic treatment?
Absolutely. Orthodontic care is effective at any age, and many adults choose treatment to improve function, aesthetics, and oral health.
Are clear aligners as effective as traditional braces?
Clear aligners are highly effective for many cases and offer the benefit of being discreet and removable. However, some complex cases may be better suited to fixed appliances. Your orthodontist will recommend the best option for you.
